About This Beer
Ter Dolen Blond is a refreshing and approachable Belgian Blond Ale with a 6.1% ABV, brewed by Kasteelbrouwerij De Dool at their castle brewery in Helchteren, Belgium. This golden craft beer strikes a perfect balance between fruity esters, gentle spicing, soft malt sweetness, and a crisp, clean finish. It’s a beautiful example of the blond ale style – light in body yet full in flavour.
What sets Ter Dolen Blond apart is its elegance. The beer is brewed using traditional Belgian methods and naturally re-fermented in the bottle for added depth. The result is a delicately carbonated beer that blends floral hop bitterness with a mellow fruitiness and a dry, herbal tail.
Whether you’re new to the world of craft beer online or a fan of Belgian styles looking for something sessionable yet refined, this is a top-tier choice.
